It's time for our mid challenge reminder at the House-Mouse and Friends Monday challenge blog and our theme is House Mouse and a Friend, alternatively you can enter an Anything Goes card just as long as you use a House-Mouse, Happy Hopper or Gruffie image.

I have used an fun image from Joanna Sheen's House-Mouse Just the Two of Us Decoupage Collection and papers from Joanna's House-Mouse Triple CD.

The sentiment and card candy are from Craftwork Cards and I have used Core'dinations card stock.

I have coloured her with my Spectrum Noir markers and added glitter to the fur on her hat and dress. My papers are from the Nitwit Collections Christmas Linen bundle along with the sentiment.

I have followed a sketch designed by Jules, she is creating a sketch library over on her blog - Always with a Heart and this is Sketch 5, make sure you pop over and check out her blog, you will not be disappointed.

I'm sharing another Christmas card as a little reminder about the current challenge over at the Paper Creator blog. Our theme for this month is Christmas in July and I have used the fabulous Comfort and Joy Jumbled Pyramage kit.

I cut out the jumbled pyramage and made up the topper using foam pads. I then created an additional base layer using some Nitwit papers and added the topper.

Make sure you pop over to the Paper Creator's Crafts Blog to check out the DT inspiration, we would love for you to join us for our Christmas in July Challenge - you could win a fabulous £10 coupon to spend in the Paper Creator Shop, there are lots of wonderful images, kits and mega deals to choose from.

My image is the fun Merry Christmas to 'ewe' image, I used Spectrum Noir markers for the little bit of colouring and added some glitter to her hat and 3D Crystal Lacquer to the candy cane and her eyes.

The border is a Fiskars edge punch and I added a twine bow and candy cane charm from my stash.

I decided to go with the beach theme and used the fun image Tropical Santa - Surfboard, I coloured him with Spectrum Noir markers and my papers are from the Dovecraft Back to Basics Modern Christmas collection.

I fussy cut Tropical Santa and mounted him onto a die cut circle, the sentiment is from Craftwork cards.

I decided on a CAS design, I don't think Stella needs a lot of embellishments she's so funny. I rearranged the sentiment to fit my design and coloured with Spectrum Noir markers - a little glitter was added to the fur on her hat and the bobble.

I have used the sweet image Christmas SB Candycane and two papers from the Carta Bella Winter Fun collection. I coloured my image with Spectrum Noir Markers and added a cream bow and co-ordinating card candy for my embellishments.

This is my card for the the mid challenge reminder at Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra, our theme is always 'anything goes' - you can use any materials, any techniques etc., as long as the end result is a Christmas project.

I have used the fun image called Poppi Xmas Snowballs kindly provided by our regular sponsor - Bugaboo. I coloured my image with Spectrum Noir markers and added glitter to the snow and 3D Cystal Lacquer to the berries. My papers are from the Fancy Pants Blissful Blizzard collection, I added two Die'sire Essentials Decorative corner die cuts and the ribbon is from my stash.
